I mean sure, but has there been a single case of someone being charged for a warranty repair with ingenext? I haven't heard of a single case of this happening.

Ingenext Boost Modules [aftermarket]
- Thread starter JPELKA

It's very weird to think about but I haven't. Considering how much message boards tend to be a vocal minority of complaints, I'd honestly expect more than the 0 I've seen so far.

So the misunderstanding about "voiding your warranty" is.... that's not, broadly, actually a thing.
A car company can refuse to pay to fix something broken by your mod but it's not like if you put an aftermarket stereo in they can refuse to fix a busted ball joint or something...
The cars these things are going into already have the hardware designed for the mod
All the mod is doing is telling your car it bought the factory boost (or that module), or telling it the car was programmed as a P (for cars with 980 motors, since they're HW identical to "real" Ps).
So I expect given only small # of owners have these mods anyway, and they're putting them in cars already built to work the way the mod makes them work, the # of folks who have anything "broken" due to the mod and thus even COULD be denied warranty coverage is awfully close to 0.
That doesn't mean the risk doesn't exist, but I don't think "nobody has heard of a denial" translates to "nobody COULD be denied if they did have an actual related failure somehow"

Just completed install of 2023.44.1 . Everything is running fine.
I'm sure Tesla can see it - without having to go in for service.
For goodness sake - they saw my ohmmu 12V lithium battery before I came in for a 12v battery problem - and wouldn't cover it under the warranty.
I must say that I love ingenext's device.
I use winter wiper mode
Children like rear seats heating control
And we all love the extra power. I had children's classmates literally scream in the car. Boys. The girls were like "cool, do that again"
Oh, on day I had all sorts of issues: car would barely accelerate, would not reset using the 2 steering wheel buttons, the tablet looked disconnected from the rest of the car, service menu would not engage. At some point I managed to get into the service menu and found that VCRight was MIA.
It turns out I had not locked the ingenext's connector to the wire harness and slowly it had disconnected, just sometimes making contact.
So, be sure to lock them!

Perhaps you’re just accelerating faster and thus it’s taking longer to brake.
Pedal is just accessing more power quicker.
Sounds like it's working! From our understanding Ingenext mods are translating official signals to the drive units based on their feature sets. Power curve is modified, therefore pedal will allow more power at varying points.
Braking is definitely affected. Basically acceleration zones have increased, requires more effort to stop the car. Look at it this way, Try jogging 60 feet and stopping, we'll use that as our baseline. Now sprint the same distance and stop at the same point. Imagine stopping with the same effort as you were jogging. That's what's happening. You need to modify your driving to accomodate.

I'm wondering the same thing. Doesn't seem like this update has a ton to offer but you never know what they might sneak in.
What couldn't be done with the last update? Is that why spreading cheer doesn't work?
confirmed 2023.44.30.2 on my 23 MYLR w ghost no issues
.So I've installed the ghost module on my 740 3LR and I'm not sure that it's working?
In the web gui I have 6 options - Drift Mode, RWD Mode, Offroad Mode, Lap mode, Hard reset and Regen Control which is far fewer than all the documentation they provided).
The Energy, Batteries and Temps boxes show no info, just 0's/defaults
Following the instructions for Drift Mode doesn't trigger traction control warnings when it has started back up, and generally, my car does not feel any faster...
Have done a Hard reset as instructed and it didn't seem to make any difference

Did they give you the LFP harness that you install on the back part of the car? Did everything work when you selected the new Ghost installation? These were the instructions they gave me and I see the same options you had. If all those options have 0's, I would check the connections you have made and make sure nothing is loose or unplugged.
They have been pretty responsive about issues I've had so I would try contacting them.
